Can any one give me some pointers in regards to achieving this type of post processing colours/tone/look?

Thanks for all the help and direction everyone. I am trying my hand at achieving that look but so far no luck getting it. This is as close as I have come:

Honestly, your best bet is to start browsing through the many Photoshop actions/Lightroom presets websites out there and find some that you like.
If you really want to learn how to achieve it, then start experimenting.
You are closer than you think.This is something I have been trying to achieve with both presets and actions and I find them too narrow in the scope of photos that can be used with them. It takes just as much fine tuning and adjusting once the action and preset have been used as when starting from scratch. Every photo seams to need its own fine tuning. I have been doing lots and lots and lots of experimentation in both LR3 and PS CS5. So far the look has been out of my reach.
What's missing from your photos is the greenish tint that is found in all the examples you've posted. Try toying w/ the WB temperature and add some softening.
It is very close but the colours I am trying to achieve are punchier with a rich smooth skin tone. The look is almost contradictory.Muted and punchy at the same time. Here is an example here and here and here.TPL...does this picture exhibit the sort of look you are after? The original size version is way sharper than this scaled one...
